Description
Be yourself they said.
Through truth you'll get anywhere.
You're perfect the way you are they said.
You're something beautiful to share.

I remember hearing this all the time,
recollecting those words as I write this rhyme.
There was one thing that they forgot to say
which is what my mantra is here and today.

Though you may be you and the best to believe
you still need to work to be beneficial
in the lives of others and yours to achieve
anything that will not be something superficial.

People forgot to say that work is needed.
Not the normal amount that keeps you in the gray,
but mind wrenching, sweat creating, limit exceeded.
To stand out and pave your way in life today.

It's the type of work that will make you shine,
to help you stand out and remain unforgettable.
The type of work that's so difficult to define.
The kind makes those gone feel their absence regrettable.

Average work that makes you blend in with others
that gives one average recognition and reward
is the kind that I don't even go bother.
For it makes me feel like a useless shard.

My newest mantra, one of the many,
is no work and average work
is essentially worthless.
And I am not worthless.

I will continue to work hard
and reach successes galore.
I will continue to work hard
and prove the world I'm not a bore.

One day when it's said and done,
I will have finally reached the sun.
Through my hard work through trial
I will have reached that emerald isle.

That's what people never said to me,
when I was living my simple life of glee.
That monotonous work is and will never be enough,
even with less than average friends, isn't that tough?

I honestly don't care
if it's here or there.
Work has become my life.
Even amidst my strife.

So one day I will have worth.
One day I won't be left alone.
One day I will be irreplaceable.
One day my work will get me my dreams.

I will continue to work hard
and reach successes galore.
I will continue to work hard
and prove the world I'm not a bore.
